English abstract

"Possibilities of using Dublin Core, ONIX and UNIMARC bibliographic records in Croatian online bookshops" describes a research conducted in the period from October 2001 to October 2002, based on the application of three different record formats for printed monographs (Dublin Core, ONIX and UNIMARC)in cooperation with online bookshops in Croatia that wanted to participate. The aim of the researsch was to determine to which extent do different record formats comply with software packages of Croatian online bookshops, as well as what can be recommended to publishers willing to create records (by themselves or with a help from librarians) for the future. The long-term aim was to start metadata creation that will be compatible with a variety of online bookshops and that will enable a better accessibility of print and electronic publications of heritage institutions that also publish.
